Hi all,

I'm trying to build pypy from source on ubuntu 12.04 LTS but can't get it
to work (see error messages below). Can someone help me and let me know the
correct steps since I'm new to pypy?

Thanks,
Meide

(1) The details for the ubuntu in virtualbox are as follows
    cat /etc/*-release
       DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
       DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
       DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
       DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS"
       NAME="Ubuntu"
       VERSION="12.04.3 LTS, Precise Pangolin"
       ID=ubuntu
       ID_LIKE=debian
       PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu precise (12.04.3 LTS)"
       VERSION_ID="12.04"
    uname -a
       Linux ubuntu 3.8.0-29-generic #42~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 14
16:19:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    python -V
        Python 2.7.13

(2) install pypy dependencies via command:
     sudo apt-get install gcc make libffi-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev
libbz2-dev libsqlite3-dev libncurses5-dev libexpat1-dev libssl-dev
libgdbm-dev tk-dev libgc-dev liblzma-dev mercurial

(3) check out pypy source code:
    cd ~/pypy
    hg clone http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy pypy

(4)build pypy
    cd ~/pypy/pypy/pypy/goal/
    sudo ../../rpython/bin/rpython --opt=jit targetpypystandalone.py
